Benefits of technology

[0022]According to one aspect of the invention a graphical user interface is provided. The graphical user interface includes a window displaying a first item and a menu listing a second item. Selection of the first item within the window and the second item in the menu helps to define a reference created between the first item and a target software component. The first item may be a source software

Problems solved by technology

The names, or addresses, of the interfaces and the components themselves can be very long and confusing.
Properly typing the required information into the appropriate field is very time consuming and arduous, even for an experienced user.
Mistakes are often made in this process, which results in the business application not working properly.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]FIG. 3A through FIG. 4C illustrate an improved graphical user interface (GUI). The graphical user interface includes a window displaying a first item and a menu listing a second item. Selection of the first item within the window and the second item in the menu helps to define a reference created between the first item and a target software component. The first item may be a source software component. The second item may be the target software component or an interface to the target software component. The graphical user interface may also include a second menu listing the interface to the target software component. The source and target software components may be session, entity beans, servlets etc. The interface may be a remote, remote home, local, or local home interface.

[0032]As illustrated in FIG. 3A, the GUI 100 includes utility pull down menus 102, utility buttons 104, and first level tabs 106. The utility pull down menus 102 are displayed at an upper portion of the GUI...

Abstract

According to one aspect of the invention a graphical user interface is provided. The graphical user interface includes a window displaying a first item and a menu listing a second item. Selection of the first item within the window and the second item in the menu helps to define a reference created between the first item and a target software component. The first item may be a source software component, a page, or a servlet. The second item may be the target software component or an interface to the target software component. The graphical user interface may also include a second menu listing the interface to the target software component. The source and target software components may be session or entity beans. The interface may be a remote, remote home, local, or local home interface.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1). Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to a graphical user interface, in particular, to a graphical user interface and background methodology for creating references between software components.[0003]2). Discussion of Related Art[0004]In a rudimentary form, many software applications developed in component based environments consist of a number of granules of software, known as “components” or “component instances,” (e.g., session beans, entity beans, etc.) and other items such as web pages and servlets. Each component is a small building block of the larger software application. When enough of the components are combined, the software acquires a particular method or functionality. Some examples of component based architectures include Java Beans (JB), Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Component Object Model (COM), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) and derivatives there from.[0005]...
